Here's an old video of Ryan's backstroke. His first major international success was in the 200 back. He set his first world record in the event at the 2007 World Championships in Australia.
Notice:
- Great rotation as he recovers w/shoulder out of water and digs deep with pulling arm
- Tight streamline
- Head stays still (at twelve o'clock)
- Hands enter (pinky first) at one and eleven o'clock
- Powerful dolphin kicks
Note: Ryan normally goes about fifteen (15) meters underwater before coming up to swim. For video purposes, he's only doing a few dolphin kicks here.
